HOW TO HAVE INTERESTING CONVERSATIONS WITH ANYONE Hi friends, this is my summary of an interesting video I watched today. I'd love if you can correct any mistakes in this post or tell me what you think about it The video was about 4 topics you can talk to anyone about. Using these topics will help you keep a conversation flowing. FORD is an acronym to remember them. It stands for : Family Occupation Recreation Dreams Family It's an integral part of our lives so talking about family is a great way to get closer to someone. You can ask : 1. How's your family? 2. How many brothers and sisters do you have? 3. Do you look more like your mother or your father? Occupation When you meet a stranger, talking about occupation first is usually the best because people feel comfortable about it. You may ask : 1. What do you do for a living? 2. What do you like most about your job? 3. What did you want to be when you were a kid Recreation This is a nice topic because we all have an interest or a hobby. Here are some questions about it : 1. What do you like to do? 2. How did you start this activity? 3. Why is this activity so exciting for you? Dreams This is the most interesting topic you can talk to someone about. You can ask: 1. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? 2. What do you think you'll be doing in 5 years? 3. What's something you'd like to do before you die? There are endless questions you could ask about these topics but don't ask question upon question, you'll make the other person feel uncomfortable. Instead of that, add a comment before asking another question. It makes people feel like they're being listen to and that leads to a very interesting conversation.
